Pros

Strong product with a fairly strong technical team sitting behind it. Casual office environment with some funny, really friendly people.

Cons

If you are, in any way, an even halfway seasoned professional with more than a year on the job, do not even entertain an offer from this place, because it will be a waste of your time and will more than likely be a backwards step in your career. This is a company that actively goes out of its way to keep costs low by recruiting predominantly kids right out of college with very little experience who live at home with their parents and don't know any better. If you need proof of this, simply glance around the place during your interview, where you'll notice about 80% of it is comprised of early twenty-somethings, who can't afford to live on their own dime, riding around on Razor scooters from Point A to Point B. As such, every time there is a company outing, you can just about guarantee about 10-15 people will call out the next morning because they're too hungover to get out of bed, even those who are considered "Senior Sales Managers" who have on-site meetings booked. To that effect, many of the reviews boast how quickly you can move up the ranks, which is true, if that actually meant any sort of significant salary bump or anything more than a title to add to your resume beyond the added responsibility. Promotions are usually based on someone else being too incompetent to do their job. It's an illusion. The "Management Team" is comprised of some of the most dishonest, bullying, incompetent, and lackluster excuses for professionals you will ever encounter. They will openly lie to you about how much money you will stand to make during your interview process, then deny all responsibility for any fault when you call them out on it after discovering the truth, opting to call you snarky names and make idle threats like, "Seriously, no one is going to like you if you keep this up." They haven't seemed to grasp the concept that people make actual life plans based on what they're told to expect out of their paychecks, so they just lie about it to shut you up, then never deliver. My favorite part of this is when they make some meaningless change that slightly effects you in some way, then actually openly ask the staff to thank them for it. No joke, you will be asked to stand in a mandatory Monday afternoon staff meeting for an hour and actually told you need to, out loud, thank the incompetence that stands before you. If you need to get an idea as to the character of the place, look no further than how the CMO and #1 of the NYC office openly refers to former employees (even having no knowledge of your previous relationship with that person). Everyone who leaves is considered to be laughable trash, regardless of their performance, as if working at this company is some sort coveted career path that one needs to strive to. Notoriously cheap management means the base salaries just continue to get cut lower and lower for new hires, some positions even having commission taken away altogether.

Pros

I can't speak for everyone that works here, but considering my specific department and what I do, I love working here and I love the environment I get to do it in. Still get to work from home some days. FANTASTIC parental leave, generous vacation and health days that in crease with a few years in. Friendly office filled with co-workers you actually want to be around. I always say the job is yours to lose if you do what you're supposed to and do it well you shouldn't face too many issues here.

Cons

- Salary needs to be more competitive - Biggest bottleneck is often having to go through our headquarters in Germany which can take forever especially if it's after hours for them and we're still working (wish we were more self-reliant or allowed to be) - Low budget set for profit centers to be able to do certain job functionalities properly sometimes. - Health Insurance needs to be better (better coverage for better pricing) - Missing 401K company match

Pros

-The only pro is the people, not any one in leadership (probably due to a trauma bond)

Cons

Where to even start, this company used to be a great company to work for where people came together to help eachother succeed. Our leaders used to care about your growth and success now you are just given more and more responsibility’s and expected to go above and beyond. Where hitting unrealistic targets is just seen as meeting expectations. Leaders and HR set a three days in office policy that employees are expected to adhere to while they never actually show up to the office or if they do they leave at 3pm. People are now often used as scapegoats, and what was once a people first, inclusive culture turned into a culture of blame, micromanagement and favoritism. Add all the above to below market salaries for NYC and that’s the type of company the Statista Americas is. It feels like a sinking ship that everyone is leaving before they have yet another round of layoffs. I would recommend to be very hesitant and in dire need of a job if you are thinking about working here.
